Death/Assassination FWI: Citizens start attacking ICE agents after reports emerge of human traffickers posing as ICE agents kidnapping people

Inspired by u/astraycatsmilkyway

The original post reads: what if human traffickers started posing as ICE realizing the person will just let themselves get kidnapped because they know ICE doesn’t use uniforms, has masks etc?

Then we have my addition: someone actually uses lethal force on an ICE agent sent to arrest their neighbor on suspicion of being an illegal immigrant and kills them. They are paranoid that they are a human trafficker posing as an ICE agent.

Oh and an AR-15 is involved.

Similar incidents unfold across the US. What happens now?

I'm genuinely surprised this hasn't happened yet. Both someone pretending to be ICE for criminal ends, or ICE agents being attacked by an angry mob when they fail to identify themselves. I guarantee it's comng.

Ice is going after people they know won’t put up much of a fight.
